Ive been struggling this video explained a lot more than other like that you have to turn the fabric and sew up first then down and that you have to fold the fabric against the direction the marker hss dented so covex to concave if that make sense and it was very hard to figure that out because i ussed i would fold it according the way it marked it. Gah so annoying though becausee im not fully sure its helpful if the mark folds the fabric one way andi have to fold it another way i may as well just use an iron and a ruler.

@sewythingy yes I think if I turn it over so that the pleats are underneath on the left hand side that I can fold it the way it bends it. I managed to make some pleats at last although then my bobbon plate cover which is just a bit of plastic stuck on with sellotape has broken lol! The never ending things to fix and adjust and fiddle with is great fun. And my k99 and all its odd little feet are awesome. I was playing with a ruffler and a tucker yesterday. Could have been an old toy steam engine the fun I had! Not that I have any desire to tuck or ruffle anything to be honest!

wouaw genial ! Thank you very much for this video. I bought and received a set of old pressor feet and this one, I haven't heard before. I see I have what you call a mini hemmer foot in my set. I have tried it already. But this one... I was really wondering how to use and what it is for ;-) - I have what you call a ruffler too. These old ladies give me so much fun with all the pressor foot. in addition to their beauty and strongness. I'm in love with these old Singer. mine are a 27k with a vibrant shuffle system (without funny pressor foot. only the standard one), and 2 singer 15k. one is electric and the other one is on a treadle table. no one had funny pressor foot. So I decided to buy a set on internet. most of them don't fit to my machines but some yes. thank you again !🙏

@@allisone7909 thank you, so pleased you like my videos. I use metal and plastic bobbins in all of mine. Most of my machines came with a few metal bobbins and then I bought Singer plastic ones from their website. They both work well. The metal ones whisper to you to let you know they are running low on thread - I find you start to hear a little ting sound from them. The plastic ones are great as you can check to see when the thread is running low. The only thing I find with the plastic ones is they tend to shafe a little when winding a bobbin and you sometimes see tiny bits of plastic dust. Hope that helps 😁
